Kilmer student Kathleen Kim and her teammate (who does not attend FCPS) won first place for speed in the Junior Division at the Junior Solar Sprint (JSS) held on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at Thomas Jefferson School for Science and Technology . Each JSS team is tasked with designing, building, and then racing a model solar electric car no larger than 30 x 60 x 30 centimeters powered by sunlight.
The JSS is a satellite event of the USA Science and Engineering Festival and is sponsored by the U.S. Army Outreach Program. This year it was hosted by TJ STEMbassadors, Young Scholars Circle, Electric Vehicle Association and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
